The 2024 RE/MAX Liveability Report explores the neighbourhood qualities that resonate most with Canadians, and determined the best neighbourhoods according to those criteria, nationally and across 23 cities. Cities in Prairie provinces, such as Alberta and Manitoba, overwhelmingly top the list, with some of the most liveable neighbourhoods in Canada.
Liveability Trends
- Affordability (44%): Most Canadians named affordability as the #1 most-important liveability factor in 2024, although it’s notable that this factor declined in importance by 3% compared to a 2020 survey.
- Neighbourhood Safety (10%): New on the top list in 2024, neighbourhood safety took the #2 spot of most-important factors to consider when choosing a place to live.
- Walkability (6%): The walkability of a neighbourhood ranked as the third ranked most-important liveability factor among Canadians in 2024.
- Age of Home (6%): A new criterion added to the liveability ranking in 2024, the age of homes in a neighbourhood tied for third place with walkability. 6% of Canadians consider it the most important factor when it comes to their perceived liveability of an area.
